About Canary Wharf College Crossharbour
About Us
Canary Wharf College Crossharbour is a new free school with the most incredible journey both having been undergone and still ahead. It has the highest ambitions for young people in our community on the Isle of Dogs and across the wider borough of Tower Hamlets. We opened in 2016 at the top of one of our primary schools and moved into a new interim purpose built site with excellent facilities in September 2018. As of September 2022, the school will be at capacity in its current site with 450 students from Years 7-11, taught in small class sizes, and will expand into sixth form once we have opened our permanent 1200 strong school, currently scheduled for September 2024 opening.
Growth
Canary Wharf College Crossharbour is part of a growing Multi-Academy Trust. Our ethos is to 'Live, Share and Celebrate a Love of Learning in a Christian Environment, whilst welcoming those of other faiths and cultures.'
We are the third school founded by Sarah Counter. Canary Wharf College East Ferry, established in 2011, and Canary Wharf College Glenworth, founded in 2014, are both primary schools educating children aged 4-11. The Trust is a friendly and welcoming community, made up of committed and experienced practitioners who are keen to collaborate and share knowledge and expertise across phases.
Location
There are a lot of reasons why you should come and work at our brilliant school, Canary Wharf College. However, I believe that the main reasons are that the school has a respectful and encouraging environment; our teachers are always enthusiastic and pushing us to succeed and the children are happy, kind and helpful.
- Year 7 Student - DemeeI am a Year 7 student at Canary Wharf College. I am proud to be part of a school with outstanding educational values. We set high standards and always strive to work to the best of our ability by setting goals for our academic performance, behaviour and personal responsibility. We are inspired by our teachers who always encourage use to share our ideas and feelings. I think, one of the best things about our school is that you can just be yourself to fit in.
